1 Mar 2023 Wednesday - riverside house

 Our last house was not fulfilling, and the one before that did not have a story to tell. Prior to that, we had Mike's house and Dona's house which I felt worthy of publication. It is a personal benchmark for myself - whether it is publishable in the local architects' magazine. 

We have not got a new house project for a while now; so the phone call for a new house/guest house by the river was exciting. 

24.11.17 - Tao visits houses

Despite a busy work day, the 3 of us had a long breakfast - I turned off my data to avoid work from interrupting. We caught up over laksa and popia, talking about his future plans, work and family. We also talked the possibility of getting Clarice to come and set up a perma-culture garden for me to retire to...

Later that day, we visited two houses. One still under construction, we could see the roof form taking shape and liked what we saw. 'Having shade is everything in the tropics' I think he said.

At Dona's, the three boys talked about the spaces and the design ideas for the new nursery. This type of interaction is good for Lionel and Sean.
